World of Warcraft hotfixes for September 1
Patch 6.2.2 has arrived, flying is available on Draenor at last, and of course we’ve got some hotfixes for the latest patch as well. For those that frequent LFR, there have been a number of changes made to Archimonde on Raid Finder difficulty that should make the encounter a little less difficult to complete. In addition, the new Mercenary Mode for PVP should now be correctly enabled for the faction that has the longer queue time in Ashran. And Mistweaver Monks should take note that Healing Spheres are a bit quieter on the ears. Read on for the full list of hotfixes.
